How did we decide that we were being called to adopt from Ethiopia? After all, we had done two domesic adoptions before.
We chose Ethiopia because we felt God was leading us towards Ethiopia. We prayed a lot and Dad and Mom felt Him giving them a push toward Africa.
We had friends who had already adopted from Ethiopia. We also had friends who were going into the process of adopting from Ethiopia. I think that really encouraged Dad and Mom to look into Ethiopia.
When Dad and Mom looked into Ethiopia, they found that they could afford it, and that the requirements fit our family really well. (Some countries have really strict requirements. Like not being overweight, only so many biological children, etc.)
One more plus for adopting from Ethiopia is that Ethiopians have dark skin like Sport's Dude and Miss Bossy. That will make it easier for Sport's Dude and Miss Bossy in the future, we hope.
